This place is stunning! The view is amazing, and is what makes it all. Make sure to use the ride if you have anything more than a backpack because it is definitely secluded. If we ever go back to 5 terre, we will be staying here. It was too bad that there was a thunder storm the first night that we were there, especially because I felt like one lightening stuck outside the window (it didn't of course), and it was kind of scary. The electricity went out as a safety but as soon as I told Nadia and Carlos about it they came out and turned it back on. Such nice people! It's a great getaway for couples.

Beautiful place with an extraordinary view. There was a closed road but the directions of nadia and Carlos were very clear. We had a great time.
Suggestion: rent a boat. The costline is also amazing from the water.

We arrived for the first of 3 nights at Nadia's place with some problems with water at the small house - unfortunately this happens out in the country. Nadia provided us with another small studio to stay in, and we appreciated that she came up with a alternative for us. Luckily, the second day, the water was back on and we were able to move down to the house. This is a great place to stay, especially in the summer, away from the day trippers. We had a car so it was good to have parking. We walked to both Corniglia and Vernazza. We also drove down to those towns in the evening when the parking was ample. One evening, we drove to Corniglia, parked very near the station, and took the train to Manarola, only 3-4 mins away. Also, there is a new bar at Prevo just opened, lovely hole in the wall midway between Vernazza and Corniglia and 3-4 mins walk from the house - what a bonus! Carlos and Nadia try their best, the house is very clean. Nadia also speaks French well and Carlos is from Madrid.

Nadia's place is located in a heavenly place with the best view in CT. Of course heaven cannot be easy to get to and access is a major issue here. I would strongly recommend that Nadia's suggestion for pick up and drop off for a small fee be taken up by anyone who wishes to savour the charms of this wonderful location. Although the property is listed as in Vernazza it is easier to access from Corniglia. Of course it is the ideal location for serious trekkers but for us it was always difficult at the end of the day to make our way back home. Nadia and Carlos were efficient and communicative, yet difficulties of language meant that we were never able to inform ourselves as well as we would have wanted.

This home has to have the best view in all of Cinque Terre. It is spectacular! Nadia and Carlos were prompt and friendly, and the house is lovely. My partner and I enjoyed our stay very much.
It is a 40 minute walk along the winding and often steep Cinque Terre trail to Corniglia or Vernazza, the nearest cities. I wouldn't recommend this home to people who cannot walk long distances unless you have a car. Still - it is not so far that you can't enjoy all the surrounding villages, and then come home to a gorgeous house, which itself is a destination worthy of spending many days!

I would stress once again that in our announcement is well described la position of the house and distance from the two neighboring countries, inter alia its location making it particular strategic because it is located 3 minutes from the path that connects the two countries, (other thing described in the link). Of course it is perfect for those who want a holiday in contact with nature, that is truly the Cinque Terre in order to know and not just to looking at them! This place needs to be cherished and not used, This is the Cinque Terre!
Thanks of the review, Hello

This is a really magical place - you could happily spend days watching th changing colours of the spectAcular view of the sea and the two headlands of Corniglia and Manarola. Nadia and Carlos were incredibly kind and welcoming and also very quick to reply to any messages. The house is not super luxurious but it is clean and comfortable; the kitchen has everything you need and it was a joy to cook supper and eat it with a glass of wine on the terrace in the evening light.

This place might just be the most beautiful place on earth! I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Carlos picked us up from the train station and dropped us off for 5 euro , which I would highly recommend because the hike up would be very difficult with luggage! He was very nice, even though we really didn't speak any of the same languages. When there was a misunderstanding about pick-up time and place, Carlos found us and was very patient. We absolutely loved this place. The one thing I would stress about this place is that it is quite a hike! 45 minutes on the trail or 30 minutes on the road (up hill from Corniglia). We stayed out past dark every night we were there so the walk home was quite an adventure. The first night we walked on the path. I would not do that again! In the dark the path was quite dangerous even with the flashlight. The next night we walked on the road (around 11 pm), that was dangerous when cars passed, but we could usually see and hear them coming. The third night we walked on the road at 1 am and no cars passed. So my advice would be either get home before dark and enjoy the beauty of the house or stay out late and be ready for an adventure up the road (but make sure you have a flashlight). We really and truly loved the place, it was worth the hike and we thank Nadia and Carlos for their hospitality.
